Summary of Prezi: Prezi is a free online presentation tool. It is similar to PowerPoint, but with Prezi you work online, you create more of a canvas presentation instead of a slide presentation like PowerPoint, and you can work with others in a group on the same Prezi. You can create groups, import images, import videos, and other files. You can also share, collaborate, edit, download files, and imbed those links and files into blogs or other sites. You can go to this site to create your free profile and get started with your presentations! https://prezi.com
Pros and Cons of Prezi: One pro of Prezi is that you can construct your presentation using the tool and the Internet and then download it so that you don’t need Internet to present it. Another pro is that you can share your prezi presentation online with up to 10 people, which is helpful when you are collaborating with others on a project, or want the teacher to looks over your work before you submit. Some cons about prezi are that there aren’t many background options to choose from, and your fonts and colors are pre chosen for you. If you don’t have Internet and you want the desktop version it is a whole whopping $159 a year!!! Another con of this tool is that some people say that this tool causes dizziness when they zoom in and out too much.
How Prezi can be used in the classroom: Prezi can be used in the classroom to present and pieces of work that students are doing for a class. It is a great way to add images, music, videos and more to their work to make it more creative and interesting. You can use Prezi to present a geography lesson, where the students are using maps. You can upload the map and use it as a canvas on Prezi. You can use Prezi for group projects and students can cooperate together in real time. Prezi can be used as a brainstorming or mind-mapping tool. You can also use Prezi to upload your old PowerPoints and touch them up or add to them.
